Fairfield Fire Battalion Chief Matt Luckenbach tallied the destruction Wednesday, a day after the blaze.

About 50 people fled after an initially small roadside fire spread in the city about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Luckenbach says no injuries were reported. The wind-driven fire started in grass near Interstate 80, jumped a creek, skirted a freeway sound wall and raced through the neighborhood, spreading through treetops.

The seven-alarm blaze eventually grew to 40 acres.

Luckenbach says it took nearly 200 firefighters more than two hours to get the fire under control.
